thedarklaser writes: Utah BYU Professors having created a nuclear reactor design that could produce enough energy for 1000 homes in the space of 4ft by 7ft. And bonus ... potentially no nuclear waste or risk of melt down.
They use molten salt that bonds with the dissolved fuel. Then, very valuable Molybdenum-99 (as in $30 million per gram) can be extracted from that salt and sold for use in medical imaging.
Additionally this system is very inexpensive, at a cost of around 3 cents per kilowatt hour.
